The Fruit Harvest: A Circa 1860's Bone Fan, with a silvered and gilded monture, lightly pierced and simply decorated with flower sprays. The double paper leaf is lithographed in a strong dark blue, offset in gold in the reserves. A central vignette shows 18th century county folk gathering autumn fruit, a male picker throwing the fruit into the outstretched apron worn by one of two female helpers, a donkey waiting to take the harvest home. To each side a portrait of a young girl, dressed in white. The verso has an overall design of flowers and foliage, in cream, gold and ginger. Guard length 26cm; and A Circa 1860's Faux Tortoiseshell Fan, the sticks slightly pierced and lightly gilded, possibly applied foil. The double paper lithographed leaf, with turquoise blue reserves, and gold highlights, shows several ladies seated next to a stone balustrade mounted with a stone urn, a gentleman in attendance, the grounds around them with colourful ground covering shrubs. The costumes appear more appropriate to the 18th century, with a sack back robe and lace ruffles. The verso shows a gathering of young couples, also in dress from a previous period, a boy bringing refreshments. Guard length 26cm (2)
